The artist linked an earlier tweet of theirs in the replies to this one, which translates as something like:

Happened upon this.

There's a theory that the "kuta" part of "kutakake" (chicken) comes from the Ainu-Itak "kotan" [TL note: village]. If that's the case, then could Kutaka Niwatari, in the world of Touhou where ainu influence is thin, be connected to the ainu?

    Is wearing three candles obligatory? She's only carrying two and in this one scene in FLCL Samejima Mamimi performs her ritual using two wand lighters as substitutes: post #7664257

    I asked for a second opinion on the matter from someone who actually lived in Japan and typically 3 or more candles is the most common and traditional way to do it, but some places like Gunma or Shiga prefecture have two. They linked me to this site as research (Japanese link) https://www.nichibun.ac.jp/cgi-bin/YoukaiDB3/simsearch.cgi?ID=2410019
